I have not tried this service, but I am pretty curious/horrified at the thought of it -
http://nymag.com/news/media/63663/
I have a colleague in Albania who is like 20 years old. I mentioned ChatRoulette to him and he said, "My friend used it a couple of times. He said the things he often saw were unspeakable." It does not bode well that a guy in a place full of war refugees and corruption considered the images he saw 'unspeakable'. Anyone dared to try it out?
-
Reading this article made me decide that I should probably not try it out. I'm a sensitive person.
-
This doesn't seem like my kind of thing. Lots of noise to signal.
-
strangers are scary as it is.
-
This sounds like a veritable den of iniquity. Much like the rest of the internet.
I think I'll pass.
-
I feel like someone dedicated to spending time on it would end up with some pretty crazy quotes or ideas. That said it's probably not worth that trouble.
-

I'm on the case!

Me and a bunch of friends on another board tried it out one night whatever week it launched a few months back. With supposedly something like 4-5k people online at the time, I ran into my friends at least twice each.
Unspeakable seems a bit over the top. I mean, it was chaos for sure. Porn on loop, guys exposing themselves and other things along that line, but I mean, it was pretty much what I expected. I think 90% of the people were on it for the show, and the rest were 4channers just trying to get a laugh. Oh yeah, and the penises.
One group of teenage girls saw me and typed "Dad?", I nearly cried and never went back.
-
Oh yeah, and the penises.
I think I've found my new .sig!!!
-
I'm definitely too shy to do this. It's one thing to check out the freaks but soon enough someone will want to have a real conversation and I will panic. I can feel the flop sweat starting already.
-
This site is insane. I discovered it about a month ago when someone posted it on Facebook. There are a shit load of the weirdest weirdos, but also plenty of people willing to have actually good conversations. One of the most notable good conversations was with this Brazilian girl that my friends and I talked with for about TWO hours. The site got huge recently and now it's mostly evolved into two groups of drunk college students yelling at each other, which is fun in its own way.
-
The "LICK YOU ELBOW" (sic) line in the article sure made me laugh.
-
It didn't take long but the English broadsheets are covering the phenomena.

Every time I see "ChatRoulette" I pronounce it "chah-roulette" in my head and think maybe it's some kind of feline gambling site. Possibly with revolvers.
-
that site gives me the creeps.

I would go to this site. I have not yet gone to the other. I'm holding out for as long as I possibly can. This and Avatar.

Amen to that. Don't give in to the pressure.

No! GIVE IN TO THE PRESSURE! Always pick the path that'll give you the best story to tell later on.*
*this is my best friend's advice that I never follow.

checked it out for about 5 minutes. pretty much just dudes, and masturbating dudes.

After careful consideration, I'm passing on this.

Chatroulette is wild. The other night I had an interesting chat with a guy wearing a wolf mask. Beware - you will see a lot of weenis. The guy performing oral sex on his girlfriend took the cake though.
-
jpg?
-
Yikes. I ended up with four creepy dudes in their mid-20s, a pair of feet, and who I can only assume was the Smashing Pumpkins girl.
-
And the next five: a scary dude in glasses, a penis, the scary dude from Sum 41, a guitar, and a sign reading: "SHOW ME YOUR TITS. I KNOW NO ENGLISH (Italy)"

That is very funny, made my day...is that you in the bottom window Chris L? Expression is perfect.
-
is that you in the bottom window Chris L?
Close.
-
"Report inappropriate video," huh?
-
Whats the difference in this and Paltalk which has been around for ages?
-
"Report inappropriate video," huh?
Yeah, it's so relative. Where's the "Report video that makes me die a little, deep inside" button?
Also, maybe that guy would find acceptance if he were a little friendlier himself. You catch more flies with honey, puddy tat!
-
Paltalk was just a better name it even had the masturbating guys.
-

So I guess you're the cat. Lookin' good!

So it is a cat site. Where's the gambling paraphernalia/gun?
-
I think thats a Leopard.
-
Right. Leopards and cats have nothing in common. How could I have been so stupid?

After a few beers last night, my friends and I decided it would be a really good idea to try this. The internet lead me to believe there was going to be more penis! There was really not that much penis, you guys.
Lots of people doing bong hits, though. Also, three separate people freaked out when we said we were in Canada. They all kept asking if we drank milk from a bag as opposed to a carton. Is that a thing? Are people suddenly upset about bagged milk? Or were those three people all in the same house and messing with us?

I thought the big hilarious thing to ask Canadians about was why they had homo milk.
-
Maybe the penises got bored. I am telling you, I saw a lot of penises the 30 or so minutes I was on. A LOT. Like, a dozen.
-
My friends and I also tried it last night. And after a good half an hour of distrusting it I realized, it kinda has infinite comedic potential. No matter what happens next it's almost always funny.

We went to ChatRoulette last night, a couple of FOTs and me, and we can report the same thing ... a dozen sets of male reproductive organs.
-
YES!
-
YES!
Every time we saw one, we shrieked like 13 year old girls do when the Jonas Brothers hit the stage.
-
I'm pretty sure that's the only reaction that's warranted for that situation, so well done!

We stopped on one naked stroking guy, and I was lit up enough to try my transsexual voice to see if I could make a boner wilt, and after a few minutes of KILLER material, the naked dude typed "Espanol?"
I was the one who was wilted.

I wish it was that simple. I've become so intrigued by this site that I have desensitized myself to seeing strangers masturbating. This is like clockwork orange with penises.

That's redundant!

When I was on Chatroulette, I said "have a nice day" every time I disconnected from someone.

By the way, anyone catch the cat guy in the Sunday NYT?

Ben Folds, I've ignored you for too long.

I saw Ben Folds about seven years ago and, regardless of what you think of his music, he is a fantastic live act. His improvisations and crowd work is tops. And there was a LOT of humor. I wouldn't hesitate going again. The chatroulette video is a great example.

Check out the guy he's impersonating as well. Everyone thought that Merton was Ben Folds so Ben Folds ran with it. It's great that even in an environment where you're most likely going to see the worst, sometimes the best happens!

I liked his cover of a Postal Service song which I can't remember at the moment.

I'm thinking Such Great Heights but then I'm thinking not because I'm thinking something about Iron and Wine?
Also, I saw Folds live two years ago and he is really a ton of fun. I do enjoy his music from time to time. Plus, he had really cool tshirts at the merch table, and that's all that matters, right?
I loved the chatroulette thing.
-
i've always liked ben folds, no shame here.
and because i'm an unabashed internet creep, i hate chatroulette but i love other people's experiences on it.
-
I like going on Chatroulette and pointing and laughing at dudes' penises. It's usually the opposite of the reaction they're looking for.

Logged onto this for the first time at a St Patricks Day party last week and found all the hype to be true: about a 2-1 penis ratio. Strangely enough, the funniest thing was not the masturbating strangers, but the guy who we caught picking his nose. We yelled at him to eat it, and he did.
Did I mention I'd had a few drinks?

Ben Folds is incredible. I am on the TivoTrain in this, and in most regards.
-
My friend tried to get us to do chatroulette last night and when I complained that I didn't feel like seeing a ton of penises right then she replied that she'd "only seen 5 or 6" last time she was on. No thanku.
-
Look, I'm in no rush to try ChatRoulette, but please, enough with the penis hatin'.
-
There, there. The penis is an organ of great charm: whether soft and cuddly or turgid and questing, there is something endearingly ridiculous about it.
-
Granted.

How not?

I had the awful thought in the locker room at the pool that in just a few decades I'm going to have to see a naked old man EVERY DAY.

Cheer up, buff. You'd be surprised how easy it is not to catch sight of yourself in the mirror if you don't want to.
